Proposals/Questions:
1 - I can not add a third format in the main GUI, I wanted to offer three choices (ext2/ext3/ext4).
2 - I am looking for translators (to check the English translation and translated into other languages).

Meanwhile I did made some work on this as well and have created also a GUI version of the SimpleSave Script. It shows all existing save files inside the gui and has option to remove them, if not longer needed/wanted.

But you are a little faster to publish, so, will keep it private.

I've had a look into your script and found some missing stuff

- the MSGMODEX definitions inside the script are missing the $ in front of it

- to have ext2, ext3, ext4 as a choice inside the yad gui do use

Code:

--field="$FIELDFORMAT":CB "ext2!ext3!ext4" \

Works over here (yad 0.12).

Hope that helps

P.S.

The script getbootdir to detect the boot directory / save folder is made by myself, that's right so far as your script says.

But the method to get the $APPDIR and the $TMPLANG is the older so called zigbert method.

Very good news!
You are obviously much better than me to write a script.
Users will obviously gain.
If I can help, you know where contact me.

Improvements I have not succeeded
1 - The main window (written with yad) exit/restart when the user clicks on the buttons 'space free/help/information': it is not useful and it is inconvenient for the user who loses every time choices (directory, size, name, format). Does anyone know how to prevent exit/restart of the main window?
2 - Help GUI (gtk) offers a window whose height is too high. Does anyone know how to limit its height?

Improvements I have not tried
- View the list of existing pupsave files.
- Propose to remove existing pupsave files.
- Automatically check the free space on the home partition before creating the new pupsave file.

Hello ASRI éducation,
Try putting button actions into a function:

Code:

function free_space () {
partview &
}
export -f free_space

Then in yad gui:

Code:

--button="$BUTTONFREESPACE:bash -c 'free_space'"

Hello stu91.

Thank you!
It works for 'free space' button.
I'll try to do the same for the buttons 'help' and 'information'.

Hey I see these new posts just now! I'm glad that someone updated this for newer puppies and added features, I'll update the main post to link to latest version post.
Sorry I'm not involved in development lately but glad to see that you guys still doing just fine! I log in occasionally though.
Keep making puppy the best OS!_________________Dpup 487 | Puppy Gallery | My photo gallery | mtPaint works

Nowadays, if you have only one save on your USB stick, you are not offered the choice zero to start a new job, the distro boots straight on the existing savefile. You must create a second one to get the choice between zero one and two.
The ASRI's pet makes it.

I just back development of simplepupsave utility.
I started to make some significant improvements, but I confess that Yad does not suit me (I think I prefer gtk).
The interface written by RSH is gtk, and I trust him for doing a good job.
So, I wonder if I have to continue development.
If I leave, it will encourage RSH to share its utility.
